The idea is to clean up Boone Creek wetland, a tributary of the Fox River located in northern McHenry County. The work-day event is co-sponsored by the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and the Sierra Club. It is an opportunity to spend a spring morning outdoors, helping to clean up this riverbed wetland and working alongside other local area stewards of the environment.
Bags, gloves, and snacks will be provided. Volunteers are advised to wear appropriate clothing and footwear, since they may possibly get muddy and wet.
All participants must sign a liability release form, which may be found on the Defenders website at http://www.mcdef.org
Students under 18 years old should download and bring a form signed by their parent or guardian to the cleanup.
Volunteers will meet at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 15 in the parking lot of the McHenry Public Works Building, which is located directly behind the Jewel grocery store on Highway 120 in McHenry. For more information, contact the Environmental Defenders at 815-338-0393 e-mail to mcdef@owc.net.
